Rewrite the Technological Landscape

As one of the four major investment banks in the United States, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers has attracted global attention. The intervention of governments in various countries has begun to increase, but it is too late.

The layoffs and production cuts of most companies have further intensified, and the number of business failures in various countries has continued to rise, causing panic in the market.

At this time, Meng Qian is happily checking his personal property, excluding the 50 billion lent to the company, the total wealth in various financial markets alone has reached 320 billion soft sister coins, and in the coming upcoming After the plunge, Meng Qian predicted that the financial crisis should be able to smoothly push his personal cash assets to more than 500 billion.

Therefore, when others are thinking about how to reduce R\u0026D investment, Meng Qian only thinks about how to increase R\u0026D investment.

On September 25, Washington Mutual, the largest savings and loan bank in the United States, went bankrupt, which once again promoted the progress of the global financial crisis. Just as the market was waiting for the rescue measures of the United States, on September 29, the 700 billion bailout of the United States The plan was rejected, and the global market began to experience a flood-like plunge. Most of the world's stock markets fell by more than 40% in October, and Neon Country was no exception.

And in this slump, if companies with poor performance are targeted by Meng Qian again, some companies will fall, such as Sharp, such as Nikon.

Sharp has actually been falling for a year, and since Dafeng Group refused to pay the tenth generation line and the Chinese market began to boycott Sharp, Sharp's decline has accelerated, and now it has caught up with the global stock market plummeting and Meng Qian's intentional In just one month, Sharp's share price fell by 78%, facing the risk of delisting.

And Nikon, which has fallen by 50% in this period of more than a month, has also expanded its decline in this world, falling by 69%, and it is in danger.

In this life, Nikon has not only lost its competitiveness in lithography machines, but even the competitiveness of digital cameras has been lost by Meng Qian. In addition, Dafeng Group has been pulling Sony and Canon to suppress Nikon all the way, and Nikon can no longer survive. , and Nikon is also owned by the Mitsubishi consortium. The Mitsubishi consortium is the largest consortium in the Neon country, and because of its size, the focus has not been on Nikon. and financial resources to save Nikon.

Under such a background, Meng Qian came to Nikon.

"How is Mr. Gu Gu thinking?" Meng Qian came up and asked directly, not even bothering to exchange pleasantries.

Because Shao Yibo had already communicated with Kagu Daorang several times, in fact, everything that should be said was pretty much the same, but Shao Yibo's status was still one level behind, so Meng Qian came out in person.

Through the research on Nikon and Doro Kaya, Meng Qian chose the negotiating mode of exerting pressure.

Kageya Daorang's attitude towards Meng Qian really did not mean to make a strong confrontation, and he said kindly, "Before Mr. Meng came, we had already held a board meeting. Regarding the acquisition plan proposed by the Dafeng Group, we would like to do something. Adjustment."

"How to adjust? To turn the acquisition into a merger, we can accept that Dafeng Group controls the equity, but we want a certain right to operate independently. In addition, we want to."

Meng Qian stretched out his hand and directly interrupted Doro Kaguya, "I only want Nikon's lithography machine business unit, I'm not interested in anything else, but the entire lithography machine business unit must be fully integrated into our company, otherwise it's meaningless to me .

I know very well what your board of directors think. Nikon’s most glorious days came from the era of Nikon’s lithography machines. You want to keep the Nikon brand and Nikon’s face, but you must accept the reality.

It is also because of your company’s perspective that I decided to leave the industries other than lithography machines to you. You can get a large sum of money by selling the lithography machine business unit to reorganize your glory in other industries, and Mr. Shao should have told Mr. Kuangu that we can give you fixed dividends.

I believe this is the best result for everyone. If you still want to leave room for the lithography machine business department, then I can clearly tell Mr. Kuangani that it is impossible. This is the basis of our negotiation. "

Dafeng Group is not the only one interested in our Nikon lithography machine division now, Mr. Meng.

"I know that ASML is also interested in Nikon, but although I don't know the content of your negotiations with ASML, I can be sure that ASML's conditions for Nikon will definitely not be better than those of our Dafeng Group."

Meng Qian was also cheating on Gu Daorang, seeing his reaction, he knew that his analysis was accurate, "In fact, the situation of the lithography machine industry is already very clear.

Our Dafeng Group and ASML have taken a step ahead, and this step has become a gap that is difficult for you to bridge. Now that the confrontation between the East and the West has been locked, the future breakthrough lies in who will develop the next-generation lithography machine first.

In this confrontation, by selling Intel, ASML can get the full support of American and European companies, so Nikon is more of a icing on the cake value for them. "

Kageya Daorang took a breath and was about to speak, but was stopped by Meng Qian, "But there is one thing I hope Mr. Kageya can understand. In fact, Nikon is also the icing on the cake for our Dafeng Group."

Kaguya Daorang's rhythm was interrupted again. After the discussion of the board of directors, they felt that the two points for negotiating with Meng Qian were that ASML was also acquiring itself and Dafeng Group obviously needed Nikon more, because Huaxia's technical foundation was obviously weaker than that of In the United States, it turned out that Meng Qian smashed both bargaining chips.

But Kaguya Doro felt that he couldn't understand, "Could it be that the core technology of the lithography machine of the Dafeng Group has caught up with the level of the United States?"

"There are some things that I can't tell Mr. Kuangya clearly. I can only tell Mr. Kuangya that no matter whether we can successfully acquire Nikon's lithography business unit, this victory will belong to our Dafeng Group."

Dao Lang's expression changed obviously. He couldn't imagine that the current Huaxia is capable of going head-to-head with the United States in the core technology of the next generation of lithography machines. In the camp of ASML, there are Cymer, Zeiss, and For precision machine tool companies, there is nothing in the Dafeng Group's camp, and a lot of technology still depends on the Neon Country.

Just when Kaguya Michiro was thinking about whether Meng Qian was deliberately pretending to be indifferent, Meng Qian continued, "From next year, our lithography machine project will enter the next stage, which is why we want to acquire Nikon's lithography machine business now." For some reasons, we are going to integrate resources as soon as possible.

Mr. Shao also said what we can give to Nikon. In fact, I came to Neon Country this time mainly to find Hitachi and Mitsubishi. The reason why I came to Nikon specifically may be different from what Mr. Kuangani thought. .

My attitude today may make Mr. Kuangaya feel a little bit strong. That is because I don’t want Nikon to misunderstand our acquisition intention. This transaction is more out of respect for Nikon.

The competition for next-generation lithography machines is becoming more and more fierce. I don’t think Nikon should stay out of it, but Nikon really needs a new identity to participate in this confrontation. Mr. Kuangaya should think about it. "

After Meng Qian finished speaking, he was ready to leave, and Dao Lang was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, it was because Meng Qian was too confident. This kind of strong self-confidence would inexplicably make people forget the objective facts and believe what the other party said. In addition, the person in front of him is Meng Qian, a person who has created a series of opportunities in eight years.

On the other hand, because the conditions given by the Dafeng Group are actually much better than ASML, the Dafeng Group promised to give them dividends and technology authorization, and the Dafeng Group can provide assistance to Nikon in other industries, and can also help Nikon enter China. This is a huge market, but if Nikon sells the lithography machine business unit to ASML, it will be sold as soon as it is sold, and there will be nothing for Nikon in the future.

Kagaya Michiro knew that he should give Meng Qian a reply. After all, Meng Qian was about to leave, "If Mr. Meng has nothing else to do today, I can show Mr. Meng a good understanding of our Nikon lithography business department."

Meng Qian finally smiled, "Okay."

The acquisition of the Nikon lithography business unit has basically been settled. Meng Qian really went to Hitachi and Mitsubishi in the next two days. Dianke, go to meet a group of domestic talents.
